After receiving a medical discharge, Cade continued to stay close to Rev. Alan Walsh and followed the former chaplain to Beacon Point, Michigan, where Walsh became the pastor of the United Church of Christ. For the past seven years, he's been a constant companion to Walsh, still performing his duties as a Religious Affairs Specialist though both of them are now civilians. Cade is fiercely loyal and protective of Walsh.

For seven years, Cade hasn't spoken a single word to anyone, even his close friend, Rev. Alan Walsh. He continues to show up for Walsh's sermons and spends most of his time in Walsh's company, but says nothing. He communicates with facial expressions and body gestures, in a unique language that only Walsh seems able (or willing) to interpret.

Cade is a loner and has no known family or friends, other than Rev. Alan Walsh.
